Bungie just announced the launch of Destiny 2's second expansion, Warmind, on May 8, featuring artificial intelligence from the game's backstory.

According to speculations, the Warmind could be Rasputin or Charlemagne, who were both mentioned in the expansion's description that the PSN store accidentally leaked.
